Roof surveys in Reading

Roof survey in Reading: how it works

Good roofs last decades, but their parts wear at different rates. Slate often lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, yet nails, battens and underlay often fail first. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. Common reasons to book are water stains on rafters and ceiling joists and cracked mortar along the ridge, on natural slate, the roof space and flat roofs.

Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof.

1. You pick the package that suits your roof.
2. On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
3. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
4. Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
5. The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
